MIC president SA Vigneswaran has dismissed a report suggesting that the party has put forward a resolution to free former prime minister Najib Abdul Razak from imprisonment.
“It is not in the manifesto, and the report does not represent MIC,” he told Malaysiakini.
Vigneswaran (above) said this when asked to comment on a news report claiming that the MIC annual delegates assembly today is bringing forward a resolution to free Najib, who is currently jailed at Kajang prison over graft charges.
The report said the resolution is in recognition of the former premier’s contribution to the country and the Indian Malaysian community.
The party’s assembly this morning was officiated by BN chairperson Ahmad Zahid Hamidi.
MIC also launched its manifesto during the assembly in preparation for the upcoming general election.
The Federal Court had previously upheld Najib’s conviction and 12-year jail sentence in its Aug 23 ruling, as well as an RM210 million fine.
This is for the RM42 million misappropriation at SRC International Sdn Bhd. - Mkini
